If you're looking for some new books for your son, here's a list of delightful, imagination inducing, true "boy" books, for ages 4 to 7ish. Though some are not necessarily "christian" they are -- in my judgment -- biblically sound.
1) Saint George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges
2) The King's Stilts by Dr. Seuss
3) The Oxcart Man by Donald Hall
4) Cowardly Clyde by Bill Peet
5) Pierre Bear and Good Night Little Bear by Richard Scarry
6) The Dragon and the Garden by N.D. Wilson
7) The Biggest Bear by Lynd Ward
8) Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel by Virgina Burton
9) Stone Soup by Marcia Brown
10) The Knight and the Dragon by Tomie DePaola
As a boy, I always wanted to eat stone soup. I still think it would be good - but not as good as bone soup for sure.
ReplyDeleteMmm, bone soup...delicious.
ReplyDeleteIf I may, I'd like to make a suggestion: Mr. Bear Squash-You-All-Flat by Morrell Gipson. Good lesson in reaping and sowing, and a not-too-bad title!
